Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un mécanisme réducteur sans jeu utilisable notamment pour le réglage de diverses parties d'un siège de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a backlash reduction mechanism which can be used in particular for adjusting various parts of a motor vehicle seat.
La plupart des mécanismes de réglage continu pour sièges de véhicules automobiles utilisent des dispositifs réducteurs à trains planétaires comportant en général un satellite unique. Ceci présente malheureusement l'inconvénient de générer sur le système de commande des efforts radiaux non équilibrés qui sont nuisibles au fonctionnement sous charges et responsables de prises de jeu importantes.Most of the continuous adjustment mechanisms for motor vehicle seats use planetary gear reduction devices generally comprising a single satellite. Unfortunately, this has the drawback of generating on the control system unbalanced radial forces which are harmful to operation under loads and responsible for taking large amounts of play.
Le mécanisme concerné par l'invention est un mécanisme réducteur comportant deux trains planétaires imbriqués dont les efforts internes sont équilibrés du fait de l'action de plusieurs satellites.The mechanism concerned by the invention is a reduction mechanism comprising two overlapping planetary trains whose internal forces are balanced due to the action of several satellites.
Un tel type de mécanisme réducteur est connu et c'est le principe le rendant sans jeu qui fait l'objet de l'invention.Such a type of reducing mechanism is known and it is the principle making it without play that is the subject of the invention.
L'idée directrice de l'invention est d'éliminer de manière élastique les jeux indésirables du mécanisme en conservant des tolérances de fabrication réalistes.The guiding idea of the invention is to eliminate in an elastic manner the undesirable clearances of the mechanism while preserving realistic manufacturing tolerances.
Le mécanisme de base comprend deux flasques, l'un appelé fixe, l'autre mobile et qui sont munis tous deux d'une denture intérieure délimitant deux couronnes. Ces deux couronnes peuvent éventuellement présenter un nombre différent ou le même nombre de dents et à l'intérieur de ces deux flasques sont disposés au moins quatre satellites.The basic mechanism comprises two flanges, one called fixed, the other movable, both of which have an internal toothing delimiting two crowns. These two crowns may possibly have a different number or the same number of teeth and inside these two flanges are arranged at least four satellites.
Chaque satellite présente deux dentures comportant en général un nombre de dents différent et disposées de part et d'autre d'une portée cylindrique : ce sont des satellites doubles.Each satellite has two teeth generally having a different number of teeth and arranged on either side of a cylindrical bearing surface: they are double satellites.
Ces satellites engrènent d'une part avec les deux couronnes et d'autre part de chaque côté des portées cylindriques, avec un pignon central. L'un de ces deux pignons est destiné à être l'organe de commande du mécanisme, l'autre pignon étant laissé libre en rotation.These satellites mesh on the one hand with the two crowns and on the other hand on each side of the cylindrical bearings, with a central pinion. One of these two pinions is intended to be the control member of the mechanism, the other pinion being left free to rotate.
Enfin, une pièce porte-satellites est destinée à recevoir les portées cylindriques des satellites.Finally, a planet carrier part is intended to receive the cylindrical bearings of the satellites.
De par les tolérances de fabrication et de montage, un tel mécanisme présente bien évidemment du jeu de battement entre les deux flasques.Due to the manufacturing and mounting tolerances, such a mechanism obviously has the backlash between the two flanges.
L'invention a pour but d'éliminer de manière élastique ce jeu de battement.The object of the invention is to eliminate this beating game in an elastic manner.
Le flasque mobile étant centré dans le flasque fixe par une liaison à pivot, il faut donc éliminer le jeu en rotation entre ces deux flasques.The movable flange being centered in the fixed flange by a pivot connection, it is therefore necessary to eliminate the play in rotation between these two flanges.
Selon l'invention, on prévoit en outre que les dentures des satellites présentent des cotes de fabrication décalées une sur deux de la cote nominale de sorte qu'en plaquant les satellites vers les couronnes, on soit sûr que deux satellites diamétralement opposés aient une de leurs dentures plaquées sans jeu dans le flasque fixe et que les deux autres satellites aient l'autre denture plaquée sans jeu dans le flasque mobile.According to the invention, it is further provided that the teeth of the satellites have manufacturing dimensions offset one in two from the nominal dimension so that by pressing the satellites towards the crowns, it is certain that two diametrically opposite satellites have one of their teeth plated without play in the fixed flange and that the other two satellites have the other teeth plated without play in the movable flange.
Le plaquage des satellites dans les couronnes peut être effectué soit par la pièce porte-satellites qui présente alors elle-même, de par sa matière ou de par sa conception, une élasticité suffisante, soit par un ressort réagissant sur les portées cylindriques des satellites.The plating of the satellites in the crowns can be carried out either by the planet carrier part which then presents itself, by its material or by its design, sufficient elasticity, either by a spring reacting on the cylindrical surfaces of the satellites.
On comprend donc que, d'une part, un satellite engrène toujours sans jeu dans une couronne et avec du jeu dans l'autre couronne et que, d'autre part, deux satellites diamétralement opposés sont plaqués dans un flasque et les deux autres dans l'autre flasque. Cette disposition permet d'équilibrer les efforts. On constate que le principe ci-dessus reste valable avec six, voire huit satellites.It is therefore understood that, on the one hand, a satellite always meshes without play in a ring and with play in the other ring and that, on the other hand, two diametrically opposed satellites are plated in a flange and the other two in the other flaccid. This arrangement makes it possible to balance the efforts. It can be seen that the above principle remains valid with six or even eight satellites.
L'élimination du jeu de rotation du flasque mobile est effectuée en éliminant les jeux des satellites suivant les trois degrés de liberté que possède un solide dans un plan.The elimination of the play of rotation of the movable flange is carried out by eliminating the plays of the satellites according to the three degrees of freedom which a solid has in a plane.
Le jeu suivant le premier degré de liberté (jeu radial) est éliminé par la fonction de plaquage décrite plus haut. C'est l'une des fonctions de la piéce porte-satellites ou la fonction du ressort.The clearance following the first degree of freedom (radial clearance) is eliminated by the tacking function described above. This is one of the functions of the planet carrier part or the function of the spring.
Le jeu suivant le second degré de liberté (jeu angulaire de la position des axes des satellites), est éliminé en évitant de façon élastique à l'axe du satellite de basculer autour du point d'engrènement entre ce satellite et la couronne avec laquelle il coopère. Cette fonction est assurée par la pièce porte-satellites qui, de par le choix de sa matière ou de par sa conception, présente une élasticité lui permettant d'empêcher ce battement des satellites en maintenant une pression autour de leurs portées cylindriques.The play according to the second degree of freedom (angular play of the position of the axes of the satellites), is eliminated by avoiding in an elastic manner the axis of the satellite to tilt around the point of mesh between this satellite and the crown with which it cooperates. This function is ensured by the planet carrier part which, by the choice of its material or by its design, has an elasticity allowing it to prevent this flapping of the satellites by maintaining a pressure around their cylindrical surfaces.
Le jeu suivant le troisième degré de liberté (jeu axial) est enfin supprimé en éliminant le jeu de rotation des satellites autour de leur propre axe grâce à un pignon fou élastique engrenant sans jeu avec les satellites.The clearance following the third degree of freedom (axial clearance) is finally eliminated by eliminating the rotation clearance of the satellites around their own axis thanks to an elastic idler gear meshing without play with the satellites.
Conformément à l'invention, le mécanisme réducteur sans jeu, utilisable notamment pour le réglage de diverses parties d'un siège d'un véhicule automobile, comportant un flasque fixe pouvant être rendu solidaire de l'armature de l'assise du siège considéré et présentant intérieurement une couronne dentée avec laquelle engrène une première denture de satellite double, puis un flasque mobile pouvant être rendu solidaire de l'armature du dossier du siège et présentant une couronne dentée intérieure destinée à coopérer avec une seconde denture des satellites doubles, ce flasque mobile étant maintenu libre en rotation dans le flasque fixe par un organe circulaire, est caractérisé en ce que les satellites doubles sont maintenus par leur partie cylindrique médiane dans le mécanisme réducteur par une pièce centrale porte-satellites présentant des moyens élastiques destinés à plaquer au moins deux satellites dans la denture du flasque fixe et au moins deux dans celle du flasque mobile, et sont centrés sur le côté de la couronne dentée d'un des flasques à l'aide d'un pignon fou flottant élastique destiné à lier sans jeu angulaire les satellites dans leur rotation autour de leur partie cylindrique médiane propre respective, un pignon entraîné par un arbre de commande étant supplémentairement prévu pour l'entraînement des satellites doubles, le montage permettant un déplacement radial des satellites doubles par placage vers les couronnes dentées des flasques tout en maintenant les parties cylindriques médianes des satellites doubles dans leur position angulaire respectives.According to the invention, the backlash-free reduction mechanism, usable in particular for adjusting various parts of a seat of a motor vehicle, comprising a fixed flange which can be made integral with the frame of the seat of the seat in question and internally having a toothed crown with which meshes a first toothing of the double satellite, then a movable flange which can be made integral with the frame of the seat back and presenting an internal toothed crown intended to cooperate with a second toothing of the double satellites mobile being kept free in rotation in the fixed flange by a circular member, is characterized in that the double planets are held by their central cylindrical part in the reduction mechanism by a central piece planet carrier having elastic means intended to press at least two satellites in the teeth of the fixed flange and at least two in that of the movable flange, and are centered on the side of the ring gear of one of the flanges using an elastic floating idler gear intended to link the satellites without angular play in their rotation around their respective own median cylindrical part, a pinion driven by a shaft control being additionally provided for driving the double satellites, the mounting allowing a radial displacement of the double satellites by plating to the toothed rings of the flanges while maintaining the median cylindrical parts of the double satellites in their respective angular position.

Le pignon fou 16 est réalisé en une matière ayant un certain coefficient d'élasticité et engrène sans jeu avec les quatre satellites 10, 11, 12, 13, ce qui supprime le jeu en rotation des satellites autour de leur propre axe.In addition, and as can be seen in FIG. 3, a
Comme on peut le voir notamment à la fig. 2, les dentures 10a, 11a, 12a et 13a des satellites doubles correspondants 10, 11, 12 et 13 engrènent avec un pignon de commande 20 monté à l'extrémité d'un arbre 21 destiné à relier le mécanisme réducteur soit à un organe de manoeuvre manuel soit à un organe de manoeuvre à moteur. L'arbre 21 passe à travers le trou 4 du flasque fixe 1.As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the
Comme on l'a vu dans la description qui précède, par le biais des cotes de fabrication des dentures des satellites, le montage est réalisé de façon que la pièce 8 porte-satellites plaque systématiquement deux satellites diamétralement opposés dans une couronne dentée et les deux autres dans l'autre couronne dentée.As we have seen in the above description, by means of the dimensions for manufacturing the teeth of the satellites, the assembly is carried out so that the
On obtient ainsi, d'une part, du fait que la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites est en matière élastique, une bonne prise des dentures des satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 dans les couronnes dentées 1b et 3b des flasques fixe et mobile 1 et 3 et, d'autre part, le maintien de ces satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 de façon à éliminer le phénomène de basculement de chaque satellite autour de son point d'engrènement avec la couronne dentée considérée.On the one hand, one thus obtains from the fact that the
L'élimination des jeux en rotation des satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 autour de leur propre axe reposant dans la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites, est obtenue par la présence du pignon fou 16 présentant certaines propriétés élastiques et engrénant sans jeu avec les dentures 10b, 11b, 12b et 13b.The elimination of the games in rotation of the
La fig. 4 représente en coupe transversale une réalisation du mécanisme réducteur conforme à l'invention. On remarque qu'un canal est prévu au centre de la pièce 8 porte-satellites pour le passage de l'arbre d'entraînement 21 de la fig. 1. Par ailleurs, dans l'application préférée du mécanisme réducteur au réglage des diverses parties d'un siège de véhicules automobiles, des goujons 25 sont reliés à l'armature du dossier, et des goujons 26 à l'armature du siège considéré. De même, à la place du circlip 6 de la fig. 1, il est prévu à la fig. 4, une bague circulaire 27 maintenant l'un sur l'autre les flasques 1 et 3 et permettant la rotation du flasque 3 par rapport au flasque 1.Fig. 4 shows in cross section an embodiment of the reduction mechanism according to the invention. Note that a channel is provided in the center of the
A la fig. 5 qui représente une coupe suivant la ligne V-V de la fig. 4, on voit la disposition des satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 et du pignon de commande 20 dans le flasque fixe 1. On constate que les dentures 11a, 13a des satellites 11, 13 engrènent sans jeu dans la couronne dentée 1c du flasque fixe 1, et qu'il existe un certain jeu entre les dentures 10a, 12a des satellites 10, 12 et la couronne 1c.In fig. 5 which represents a section along the line VV of FIG. 4, we see the arrangement of the
A la fig. 6 qui représente une coupe suivant la ligne VI-VI de la fig. 4, on voit la disposition des satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 et du pignon fou élastique 16 dans le flasque mobile 3. On constate que les dentures 10b, 12b des satellites 10, 12 engrènent sans jeu dans la couronne dentée 3b du flasque mobile 3, et qu'il existe un certain jeu entre les dentures 11b, 13b des satellites 11, 13 et la couronne 3b. D'autre part, on voit que le pignon fou élastique 16 engrène sans jeu avec les dentures 10b, 11b, 12b, 13b en éliminant ainsi les jeux en rotation des satellites autour de leur propre axe.In fig. 6 which represents a section along line VI-VI of FIG. 4, we see the arrangement of the
La fig. 7 qui est une coupe du mécanisme de la fig. 4 selon la ligne VII-VII représente le mécanisme réducteur comportant une première réalisation selon l'invention de la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites.Fig. 7 which is a section through the mechanism of FIG. 4 along line VII-VII shows the reduction mechanism comprising a first embodiment according to the invention of the
A la fig. 7, la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites présente quatre alvéoles 30, 31, 32, 33 destinées à recevoir les portées cylindriques des satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 et un évidement central permettant la mise en place d'un ressort 34. Le ressort 34 s'appuie sur les portées cylindriques des satellites afin de plaquer les satellites dans les couronnes comme décrit précédemment. Il est à noter que la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites présente une élasticité suffisante pour lui permettre de maintenir une pression sur les portées cylindriques des satellites afin d'interdire à leurs axes de basculer. Cette pièce centrale est guidée par son pourtour extérieur dans le flasque mobile 3 et maintenue en translation entre les deux flasques 3 et 1.In fig. 7, the
Aux fig. 8 et 9 qui montrent la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites de la fig. 7, on remarque que les alvéoles 30, 31, 32, 33 destinées à recevoir les portées cylindriques des satellites 10, 11, 12, 13 affectent une forme oblongue afin de permettre le déplacement radial vers les couronnes des satellites tout en maintenant les axes de ces satellites dans leurs positions angulaires respectives. Les alvéoles 30, 31, 32, 33 dessinent comme un trèfle à quatre feuilles au centre de la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites.In fig. 8 and 9 which show the
La fig. 7a est comme la fig. 7 une coupe du mécanisme de la fig. 4 selon la ligne VII-VII et montre le mécanisme réducteur comportant des variantes de réalisation de la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites. A la fig. 7a, la fonction de placage des satellites dans les couronnes et le maintien élastique des axes de ces satellites sont assurés par la pièce centrale porte-satellites seule.Fig. 7a is like fig. 7 a section through the mechanism of FIG. 4 along line VII-VII and shows the reduction mechanism comprising alternative embodiments of the
Deux réalisations de la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites de la fig. 7a sont représentées aux fig. 10, 11 et respectivement 12, 13 dans lesquelles la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellite est conçue en une matière présentant une certaine élasticité lui permettant de plaquer les satellites conformément à l'invention et de maintenir les positions respectives des axes de ces satellites en appliquant une pression sur les portées cylindriques des satellites.Two embodiments of the
Aux fig. 10, 11, la pièce centrale 8 porte-satellites affecte la forme d'une croix de Saint-André dont les branches 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d sont terminées chacune par un patin 8e reposant normalement contre les parois internes des flasques 1 et 3. Une ouverture centrale 8f permet le passage de l'arbre d'entraînement 21 de la fig. 4.In fig. 10, 11, the
Les fig. 12 et 13 représentent une autre réalisation de la pièce centrale 8 pouvant remplacer la croix de Saint André des fig. 10 et 11.Figs. 12 and 13 show another embodiment of the
Par ailleurs, il y a lieu de noter que le mécanisme réducteur des figures précédentes peut être rendu irréversible suivant les mêmes principes qu'un système à roues et vis et ne nécessite donc, en général, pas de blocage complémentaire pour son utilisation en liaison avec un siège de véhicule.Furthermore, it should be noted that the reduction mechanism of the previous figures can be made irreversible according to the same principles as a wheel and screw system and therefore does not generally require additional blocking for its use in connection with a vehicle seat.
